Those of us who believe in the scriptures often wonder whether things happening today are fulfillment of prophecies of things that are to happen in the end of time.
Yesterday, I heard of a snowstorm in Hawaii, and my thoughts turned to Matthew 24, which says there will be earthquakes in divers places. While a snowstorm is not an earthquake, I wondered at the likeness of a snowstorm being in an unlikely place to that of an earthquake being in an unlikely place.
As it turns out, snowfalls in Hawaii actually aren't uncommon. The volcanic mountains are so high, snows often top them. The name of the highest peak, Mauna Kea, in fact, translates as "white mountain."
But, the snow usually doesn't come this early. A snow in late November is uncommon.
Just one day later (today) after I thought on the scripture of earthquakes in divers places, we get just that, an earthquake in an unusual place -- Delaware. With a magnitude of only 4.1, it was hardly a whopping quake. Still, the fact remains it happened in an odd place.
"For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." (Matthew 24:7)
The world is to be in commotion in the last days. Looking around, I would say that is happening some.
